Checkers, what a wonderful dog you were, we are Thankful that you got to come live with Mom-Mom and the little kids.  I know that the first part of your life was good, you had a family and they loved you.  And I know it was bad and not easy for you to understand why they left. 

When you came to us you were straved not only for food and water, but for love.  I’m glad you found it with the little grandchildren!  You lived on thier porch and gladly herded them here and there and everywhere.

You and Fuzzy were the best of friends and loved to go ‘farming’ together.

These last few weeks were hard on you, but now you are free over the Rainbow bridge.

You will be missed, Checkers.  You will.

Linda
